Suicide in Europe

David Lester

Abstract

Suicide rates in Europe range from the very low to the highest in the world. For many years, Hungary had the highest suicide rate in the world but, in recent years, the newly independent Baltic States have risen to the top. Meanwhile, southern European nations, such as Greece and Spain, have very low suicide rates. The present chapter briefly reviews some of the intriguing trends and findings about suicide in Europe.
